Friendly staff.
Located in "iffy" area; have to go through a drug-infested area to get to it.
It is located on the wrong end of East Hastings in an area that is "transitional." There is some building going on and there's a new Starbuck's, so there's hope. Crazy-people section of town to do so. That said, the buses run often and as long as you stay on until it reaches Granville, all is well. The carpets are really dirty, in fact the first room I was given, was just down right filthy. Sheets did not look too stellar either. The second room was better. Staff is very nice; if you need the shuttle tell them the moment you get there as otherwise the shuttle will be booked. I would not stay again unless nothing else was available, but I have to say, the place was booked solid while I was there. read more

Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful; more than I expected.
No refrigerator or microwave was available, but there was a space for them in the room.
The hotel and the room were a lot nicer than I expected. It was not in a bad part of town, but there are some sketchy areas downtown. Being a single woman traveling alone, I felt very secure. They had a garage door style gate for the parking under the hotel and you had to use your room key to get into the garage and to use the elevator. Parking was free, which is unusual in Vancouver, and they insisted on shuttling me to and from my conference so that I wouldn't have to drive unless I wanted to get out and see the sights in the evening. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and always remembered who I was. Breakfast was fruit, yogurt and Danishes and toast. Not bad for continental. I searched all over town and with free parking, free breakfast, and free internet this was by far the best value in town. The room was nice and fairly large for one double bed, and the bed was extremely comfortable. read more
